He’s likely to talk about his current projects, including pushing for peace with Palestinians and seeking a climate change agreement.

He also has a foundation that tries to promote understanding among different religions and is teaching at Yale University.

Also on Letterman that night will be actress Julianna Margulies (MAR’-goo-leez), who is promoting her new series on CBS.
